I think it does. D4 and Halo seem to be on par or slightly ahead of windows. Also basic tasks, web browsing, etc feel more "snappy" on the same hardware than garuda, which used the zen kernel.

Very nice! I haved used garuda before and liked it a lot. I switched from garuda to cachy when I got the 7900xtx as I couldn't update llvm and mesa to experimental versions without breaking a bunch of dependencies to get the gpu working. Cachy already had those optimizations built in and ended up having a lot of optimizations I liked (BORE scheduler, etc) so I have stayed on it since.

Its a newer distro, but has good support and very friendly devs.

This is exactly what happened to /r/libertarian. It used to have great, lighly moderated content where people of most political affiliations could discuss topics and current events, but then it got taken over by mises caucus fucksticks. Then it became into a right libertarian/alt right hellscspe. I was banned shortly after. Lame.
